I’m so excited! There are tons of amazing things to see; new companies, new products, craft celebrities, designer friends, amazing booths, cool demos….ahhh. It’s like the Oscars of Crafting. And I love it!

Vicki and I hamming it up at a CHA show. We usually travel together because we have a BLAST.

There are so many cool events, but here are a few that you’ll want to know about BEFORE I leave on Thursday.

I’m speaking on a panel on Friday moderated by the amazing writer/jewelry artist Jen Cushman about Design Teams. My role is to speak about “fair compensation” for members. Since I’ve been on, run, and assembled a few of these teams, I’m looking forward to educating craft manufacturers and vendors about some different models.

I’m demoing at the Plaid Booth on Sunday from 2-5PM. (If you are coming to the show, swing by to say “hi!” and make some Mod Podged goodness. (PS, #TeamCTD member Vicki O’Dell is, too. )

If you’d like to see some “sneak peeks” of products being released at CHA this winter, Scrapbook Update does an amazing job of compiling those links for you.

Cathie, Vicki, Sarah Hodsdon and me. Again with the hamming.

And my crafty-cool pal Cathie Filian has compiled a whole list of designers/craft celebs who are doing demos, book signings, and other cool live events. (PS- she and Steve Piacencza are launching a whopping 17 new products at the show- can’t wait to see them!)

SO… I’m about to take the show on the road! Don’t miss any of the fun goodness- #TeamCTD and I will be live-tweeting from the event, snapping pics, posting on FB, and publishing new posts every day of what we saw at the show!
